Is there any permanent living options for a schizophrenic person?
I’m 22 and I have a 27 y/o schizophrenic sister that has caused so much pain and distress to our family. Seeing what she has put both my parents throug, my mom who is now deceased and my dad who is in his 70s. I’m starting to resent her. She can’t live on her own, she refuses to be consistent with her medication and is in out of of the mental hospital every other week.
Im mainly worried about my dad he is all i have left and she’s putting so much stress on him. She needs to get out. I care about her and i know she can’t control it but i’ve grown a fatigue towards her because of what she has put our family through.
Are there any facilities she can go to that will keep her permanently and ensure she’s well cared for? Because the only thing the hospital does is dope her up and send her on her merry way and the cycle repeats over and over.
My dad won’t be here forever and i don’t want her to be left to fend for herself once he’s gone. I do wanna make sure she’s alright at the end of the day, and I wanna see if I can relieve some of the stress on my dad while he’s still here.
